Madrid!

Hey guys!

So I am in Madrid. I went out an explored a little bit. My hostal is really close to Plaza Mayor which is pretty famous in Madrid. I started off my day as a traditional "madrileno" and went to a panderia or bread shop and had a glazed croissant and oj. So good! And then I continued my walk to Plaza Mayor. It is really cute there. There's lots of outdoor cafes and booths so there was some sort of festival I think. Then there are other streets that lead off that have tons and tons of other cute shops and restaurants. I'm in Madrid by myself until Sunday and that is when I have to go to another part of Madrid to meet up with other students and professors who will be in Bilbao with me. I'm in Madrid til Tuesday and then we arrive in Bilbao and then I will be there for 5 weeks! It's been kind of lonely being by myself but it's been a short amount of time so it is not so bad. I'm really excited to keep updating and exploring more.
